Colour Throwdown #89 and Stampin' Royalty #16

When I saw the sketch at the Stampin' Royalty Blog this week and the current Colour Throwdown, I knew I had to combine the two challenges! I decided to finally ink up my new "Awash with Flowers' set which is available this month and then will come out again in the new big catalogue in July. In fact, any hostess who has a party of $460 will earn this stamp set for FREE!!! But only for this month!

I inked the outline of the flowers in black and then stamped the inside with Sage Shadow and Almost Amethyst. I also completed the inside of the card with more flowers and a sentiment from a level 3 hostess set. The card base is Bordering Blue and the ribbon is Sage Shadow. You can't see it, but I used my texture plates to emboss the Amethyst cardstock under the top note shape. I turned the sketch and made a vertical card, looking through my blog, you will notice I tend to make this style of card the most! It was nice to get out my Top Note Die and use it for the sketch. I always forget about it and I love the frame it creates for the images.

Tomorrow I will be revealing my second Design Team Card for the 10 Minutes or Less Challenge Blog! It is going to be a fun challenge this week...

Oh Lesley, this is just lovely! I am always so excited when it's my turn to choose CTD colors because I love these so much and it is so fun to see what everyone creates! This is so fresh and bold! Your inside is just as cute too! I wondered where that sentiment was from--cuz I don't have that Level 3 set!! Thanks for playing with my colors this week!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with tomorrow. Here is PA, it IS tomorrow!! I went to bed and got up again....can't sleep!
